The company’s revenue grew 13.7% to Rs 7,484.24 billion in FY24, while profit after tax stood at Rs 310.88 billion. Belrise operates 15 manufacturing facilities across eight states and has expanded its market reach internationally, including to the UK, Japan, and Thailand. Axis Capital, HSBC, Jefferies India, and SBI Capital Markets are managing the IPO.
